About
After graduating with Ph.D. from the Graduate School of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2008, I started postdoctoral research at , University of Queensland, Australia in November 2009. In 2014, I went to the University of California, Irvine as a project scientist for 1 year, then returned to the University of Queensland in Australia to continue postdoctoral research and I was promoted to Research Fellow in August 2018. I have excellent scientific research experience, as well as nearly 10 years of overseas work experience in the neuroscience field, especially in epigenetic regulation. My previous research focus on the molecular mechanisms of learning and memory in the brain, as well as the research of anxiety disorders related to fear memory, post-traumatic stress disorders and other mental disorders.
At the same time, I am good at using epigenome and genome sequencing technology to explore the pathogenesis of cerebrovascular disease, brain tumors and other related diseases. More than 30 papers have been published in international first-class journals including Nature Neuroscience, PNAS, Journal of Neuroscience, etc. Articles in PNAS and Nature Neuroscience are recommended by The Faculty of 1000 as a must-read article in their field. In 2019, I was selected into the Hubei Provincial Hundred Talents Program and returned to China for full-time employee at Zhongnan hospital of Wuhan University in 2020.
